Condition: Breast nodules. Purpose of visit: Diagnosis and follow-up. Breast nodules and cysts were previously detected during a physical examination. I experienced occasional pain upon palpation and was quite concerned. Dr. Zhu Caixia was very thorough during the consultation, taking a detailed medical history and performing a physical examination. After the ultrasound, the doctor patiently explained the condition, stating that the nodules are likely benign and do not require surgery at this time. Regular follow-up was recommended. The doctor's professional explanation alleviated my concerns. The service was excellent, and I am very grateful.

Condition: Breast cyst. Purpose of visit: Examination and consultation for treatment options. The visit proceeded very smoothly. Dr. Zhu Caixia ordered an ultrasound examination. After the results were available, the doctor provided a detailed analysis of the imaging and informed me that the cyst is currently small and does not require medication or surgical intervention at this time; regular monitoring is sufficient. The doctor was very kind and addressed my numerous questions regarding diet and lifestyle. She is a highly skilled physician who is also excellent at providing emotional support to patients.

Condition: Breast nodules. Purpose of visit: Postoperative follow-up. I previously underwent minimally invasive surgery, but a follow-up three months later revealed new nodules, which caused me significant anxiety. Dr. Zhu Caixia patiently reviewed my medical history and latest diagnostic reports, providing a detailed explanation of the possibility of recurrence and the subsequent management plan. The doctor recommended continued observation and advised against excessive concern. The doctor's professionalism and patience were reassuring. The treatment outcome is clear, and my condition is currently stable.

Condition: Fetal hydronephrosis and megacystis. Purpose of visit: Prenatal diagnosis and intrauterine treatment. At 18 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus was diagnosed with severe hydronephrosis and megacystis, accompanied by pelvicalyceal dilation. The local hospital recommended termination of the pregnancy. Seeking a glimmer of hope, we consulted Director Wu Jing. Director Wu was highly professional, conducted a detailed assessment of the fetal condition, and provided an intrauterine treatment plan. Following the treatment, the fetal condition improved significantly. Director Wu is not only highly skilled but also very empathetic toward the mother's feelings, which gave us great confidence.
